Hi there! I’ve experienced this when I got Covid. It worsened when I tried a vegan diet. Going back on red meat and taking an iron supplement took care of the problem completely. Another symptom that came with it was CRAVING the smell of chemicals like cleaning supplies and gasoline. Anytime I begin to enjoy pumping gas too much, or think I’m smelling a fire, I know I’m low on iron and it clears right up. Idk dosage - I just bought a simple iron supplement from Walmart.
